Don't take your life away
Don't take your life away look for me,
If you want me to stay by your side I'll be,
That knife in your hand can you put it down,
Why do you think it'd be better of you weren't around?
Don't take your life away,
Is my love enough to make you stay?
We are dying while we're living,
Time is flying moments are missing,
Those pills you took can you spit them out,
Take another look you're covered in doubt,
Don't take your life away,
Atleast not right away,
How many times have you thought,
If you were dead...
If you want me to stay by your side I'll be,
That knife in your hand can you put it down,
Why do you think it'd be better of you weren't around?
Don't take your life away,
Is my love enough to make you stay?
We are dying while we're living,
Time is flying moments are missing,
Those pills you took can you spit them out,
Take another look you're covered in doubt,
Don't take your life away,
Atleast not right away,
How many times have you thought,
If you were dead...

Do you have compassion
I will always follow you to the end of time, for I will follow you in my need to sustain my life, for I will follow you as you have inspire me to think for thyself 🤔 in all my life situations, that seems to have me feeling like I'm drowning, in the sea of death and fear. 😨 For sure I will always follow you, as my thoughts become dangerous, to my own well being. 😞 For sure I will follow you as my life, becomes filled with nothing but confusion, and negative vibes, driving 😕 me on a two way street, yet going the wrong way. 😕 AS if I got a death wish that...

Lost In Space
Besieged the stars upon the sky
Painted dark as comets cry
I wish I may, try as I might
I cannot wish on stars tonight
Extinguishing novae
Apocalypse decays
Constellations erased
As I'm lost in space
Painted dark as comets cry
I wish I may, try as I might
I cannot wish on stars tonight
Extinguishing novae
Apocalypse decays
Constellations erased
As I'm lost in space

A Word From Death
So,” Death says.
“Yes, please, now. I have the courage now.”
The tremor in my voice betrays me.
I hold out my hand. Pleading.
The blackness under Death’s hood watches me.
They say nothing.
It means everything.
“Just let them find out gently. Please let them heal well, and we - I - will just… go. Now. Get ahead of the rush.”
My arm aches from begging for their hand.
“Please. I will go back to being a coward soon. But right now. Right now you can take me. Willingly.”
My throat has...
“Yes, please, now. I have the courage now.”

Abused
She was on her way home from a friend's house
A man raped her in the parking lot of her apartment building
30 feet from the entrance
At first she begged to let her go
He punched her, broke the left half of her jaw
She stopped resisting
It was better to just get it over with and hope that he didn't kill her
All the time he was raping her she could feel it
She didn't black out
She could feel her tearing her up inside
She tried to relax so it wouldn't hurt as much
Her jaw made bright blue sparks flash in front of her eyes every time he...

An Endless 30
A string— unwound, not broken
melancholy— the rhythm rang
where Orchids bloom unspoken
beneath tears the sorrow sang
whispers through the windowpane
A cry for help, for need
of primal instinct against better judgment
the cost of a good deed.
the need to impair,
to make yourself believe.
through constant despair
will you finally be free?
oh, the horror! the tragedy!
when lust becomes a liar
drenched in misery
forever in the fire.
shunning vanity and cowering in shame ...

Will He? Won't He
A frequent question by me primarily posed
“Why can’t you take better care of yourself?”
It just takes a bit of willpower.”
in me, there is no scarcity of willpower
a will bent on my destruction
a powerful desires to surrender to failure
nefarious captor of my spirit
that would rather see me dead
than change for the better
I pause to consider,
What would I lose with my demise?
the chance to see my daughter as a mother
to cradle new life in my grandfatherly arms
the privilege to have stimulating conversation;

The Waiting Game
I sit on apartment patio
iron railing chipping
framing neighbors
coming home from work
in twilight gray and soft and purple
loneliness eats away at
what is left of me
this time of day
after the coffee has ravished my flesh and soul
and the same chronic emptiness
abandonment issues
first it was bipolar depression
then borderline personality disorder
a flurry of titles I fondled in my fingers
OCD
PTSD
and all I know is
I cry daily
and you can never show me...

no, Google, I'm not suicidal
I googled
"what to do
when you've given up
on life"
and it gave me a list
of suicide hotlines
and articles on positive
mental health practices
I didn't know how
to explain to a search engine
that I'm not suicidal
I'm not looking for that kind of exit
I'm lost
I'm lonely
I'm aimless
Everything feels pointless
I've hit the edge of depression
and kept going into the abyss

Raving, Not Drowning
Trying to pick myself up,
Having quaffed from a demons cup
Drowning in a puddle
Of quicksand
No sandcastles in the sky
No haven
From the ranting and raving ravens
Dark clouds
Whilst incandescent streaks
Of sunshine
Await
To break through the cracks
Proffering vague glimmers of false hope
As i slowly sink into the quagmire.....

Mental Health Connection
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ For let's take a moment to analyze what others are dealing with in their own life. For sure we can't ignore the truth of the facts, about metal illness for sure it may affect, families and friends and people who we are close with in our lives. Yet we are still not sure why so many people's, lives on a daily basis is living on so many, levels of unstable with conditions with situations. That is what some people's have to learn to deal with, sometimes becoming invisible to the outside world. 🌎 THAT they were and have been...

Rose Tattoo”
Cutting deep beneath indigo sorrow
Misery rises forcing you to swallow
Loving agony a pleading masochist
No hope or faith, depression resists
Warped inside twisted & wikked smile
Neverland nor Eden would ever I exile
‘Pon witching hour dawn slips to kneel
Dictating violet heart right before the kill
Looking for a secret doorway in the shine
Violence swept throughout hollowed pine
Within vessel brutal ebony kept strangling
Hangman's noose low whisper, fable telling
